This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

Chapter 497 Who is it? (8000 words goal achieved!)

Dream...

Deep... dark dreams.

path.

It spreads forward and disappears into the dark path.

lights.

The blue and coquettish flames were flickering.

The priest and the villagers in linen and kimono walked silently on the path.

The accompanying Kagura ritual team chanted obscure words.

Are these people from the shrine?

In fact, Kamiya Mirai does not know these things.

Because her body and perspective are not under her control.

And her field of vision is actually very narrow.

Mirai Kamiya could clearly feel that he was wearing something like a mask on his face.

No...it wasn't so much that she was wearing a mask, but that it was glued tightly to her face.

It can't be taken off, and it can't be broken free.

One step, another step.

There was drizzle in the night sky.

The crisp sounds of shamisen and kagura bells, and the simple chanting of prayers, ripple in the dark forest.

Move forward, keep moving forward.

They came under a sacred tree.

The trees were filled with humanoid figures of various colors and ages.

Rather than saying they were offering sacrifices to the sacred tree, it would be better to say that the rows of human figures were resisting something.

The strange smiling faces sewn with needlework seem to be adjusting their direction as people move around.

Snap, snap, snap.

The queue of people kept moving forward.

Until the forest splits to both sides, the field of vision broadens——

It was a lake.

A dark...glorious lake.

In the dark night, the surface of the lake glowed with a coquettish scarlet color.

The empty lake...

The endless lake surface.

It's as if it can swallow people up.

Someone in front turned around.

He was wearing a black priest hunting suit and holding a scroll of documents in his hand.

Perhaps due to unclear memory, the other party's gray face was completely covered by the miasma, and his facial features were completely misplaced.

At the same time, the vague and hoarse voice also came out:

"The torii of the sky communicates with the empty body..."

Boom!

Just like the TV had crashed, Kamiya Mirai felt that everything was pitch black in front of him.

Then there was fire dancing in front of him...and a pair of exposed arms.

On the pair of gray twisted arms, there is a totem——

"Things that look human but are not human..."

arm...?

Kamiya Mirai muttered in his mind and widened his eyes.

In her vision——

A twist of the arm!

He strangled her neck tightly!

"Uh...ah!"

Kamiya Mirai turned over and woke up suddenly from his sleep.

Her eyes were filled with uncertainty, and her whole body was sticky and covered in cold sweat.

In front of him are the familiar furnishings of the Beichuan family.

White ceiling, brown wardrobe.

She breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to reach out and take the thermos bottle prepared by the bedside into her hand.

But after searching for a long time, she couldn't find the hot water cup. She turned her head and looked at it strangely.

That's a pair of hands.

A pair of gray and twisted hands——

It was tightly clasped on her wrist!

"ah!!!"

Mirai Kamiya screamed and opened his eyes again.

Her eyes were filled with uncertainty, and her whole body was sticky and covered in cold sweat.

In front of him are the familiar furnishings of the Beichuan family.

White ceiling, brown wardrobe.

She breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to reach out and take the thermos bottle prepared by the bedside into her hand.

Then she touched a pair of hands.

Well!

Kamiya Mirai's heart skipped a beat.

Then he turned his head tremblingly.

Then he shouted——

"Tera-kun?!"

Yes, the hand she held belonged to Kitagawaji.

The other person was wearing white pajamas and looking at her calmly.

"I just fell asleep when I heard a noise from your side, and then I came over to see the situation."

Beichuan Temple explained.

"Hey...hehehe..." Mirai Kamiya blinked sheepishly, and then twirled his fingers uneasily: "Um...Tera-kun...you probably didn't see me just now. Doesn’t it look good when sleeping?”

Yes... I had that kind of nightmare just now, no matter how much I thought about it, her sleeping face could not look good.

Being seen by someone you like...it's really embarrassing.

Faced with Kamiya Mirai's question, Kitagawaji just shook his head expressionlessly: "I didn't see it."

"That's good."

Mirai Kamiya breathed a sigh of relief.

"I took the photo. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet."

"ah?!"

Mirai Kamiya opened his mouth wide.

Then she was ashamed and angry and wanted to snatch Beichuan Temple's mobile phone: "Tera-kun! Give me your mobile phone! Give it to me quickly!"

Faced with Kamiya Mirai's expression, Kitagawaji just shrugged and said in a steady voice:

"I was kidding. I didn't actually take a picture of your sleeping face."

"...Yes...Really?" Mirai Kamiya finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, taking photos requires focusing, which means Beichuanji needs to confirm whether the photos taken are blurry.

And this is in line with what Kitagawaji said just now, ‘I took the photo, but I didn’t have time to look at it. ’ This sentence is somewhat contradictory.

Thinking of this, Kamiya finally relaxed in the future.

Then, Beichuan Temple's voice rang:

"Actually, I saw it, but I didn't have time to take a picture."

puff--

Mirai Kamiya almost spit out one mouthful.

What is this? !

The corners of her mouth twitched, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she kept it all in her stomach.

never mind. It's useless no matter how much I talk to Temple-kun.

Moreover, Temple-kun came over immediately as soon as he heard the movement here...

To be honest, Mirai Kamiya was still a little moved.

"Tissue. There is cold sweat on your face. Wipe it off."

Kitagawaji handed over the tissue.

"Ah...thank you Temple-kun."

Mirai Kamiya nodded and wiped his face with a tissue.

"Thermos bottle, you must be thirsty, right?"

Beichuanji also handed over the thermos bottle.

"Yeah. I was looking for a thermos bottle just now."

Kamiya Mirai smiled and took a big gulp of warm water.

When she fully recovered, Beichuanji also stood up and asked without changing his expression:

"You should be able to fall asleep now, right?"

"Well. Thank you Temple-kun, I have no problem. Temple-kun, please rest early."

Mirai Kamiya gently hugged Kitagawaji, rubbed his head on his chest and said.

"Well...it's really time to go to bed."

Kitagawaji also agrees with this idea.

He stood up and closed the door to the room, and then——

"Um..."

Mirai Kamiya stared blankly at the white ceiling.

After a while, she said as if she was dreaming: "Um...Tera-kun? Why are you lying on my bed?"

Yes, Beichuanji just lay down on her bed after closing the door.

From such a close distance, Mirai Kamiya could even hear Kitagawaji's breathing clearly.

"Didn't you ask me to rest early?"

Beichuan Temple's steady voice sounded.

"That's what I said..." Mirai Kamiya subconsciously turned sideways, but he happened to meet Kitagawaji's line of sight.

Her hair on the temples was a little messy, and there was still a hint of shock on her face due to the nightmare she had just had.

Looking at Kamiya Mirai like this, Kitagawa Temple's face softened slightly and he whispered:

"Go to sleep."

Well...

Kamiya Mirai's eyes moved away unnaturally, and then he remembered the terrible nightmare just now.

She cried softly:

"Tera-kun."

"Um?"

"Can I hold you?"

"...Can."

Kitagawa Temple did not refuse Kamiya Mirai’s request.

In fact, he stayed because he was worried that Kamiya would continue to have nightmares in the future. With someone by your side...it will surely improve, right?

"Yes." Mirai Kamiya responded slightly, then she put her arms around Kitagawaji's waist and put her head against his chest.

Under this action, Kamiya Mirai felt an unprecedented sense of security.

She closed her eyes, took a breath and said, "Good night, Temple-kun."

"Yeah. Good night."

Kitagawaji said, stroking her head.

In this state, the impact of the nightmare seemed to have disappeared.

Mirai Kamiya soon fell asleep.

The next day.

Mirai Kamiya woke up according to his usual biological clock.

Beichuan Temple next to her had left at some point.

He probably saw that she was sleeping soundly, so he didn't call her.

But no matter what!

"Tera-kun, a day full of energy!"

Mirai Kamiya stretched himself comfortably.

The fatigue of the previous few days was gone.

She just felt energetic now, with endless strength all over her body.

It feels different to sleep with Temple-kun! I no longer have nightmares, I feel energetic, and I feel like I have come back to life in an instant.

It seems that I will sleep with Temple-kun more often in the future!

She hummed a little tune and changed her clothes, then went downstairs to wash up. During this period, she also met Kitagawa Eri who had just been trained by Kitagawa Temple.

Kitagawa Eri hugged her as soon as he saw her, and said aggrievedly such things as 'Brother Temple is so strict today' and 'Is he in a bad mood?'

This made Mirai Kamiya just laugh twice and touch Kitagawa Eri's head to comfort her.

While the two were still chatting in the bathroom, Beichuanji's voice rang outside:

"It's almost time to eat. Don't stay in there after washing up. Don't forget there are exams today."

After saying this, Kitagawaji left the bathroom and placed the plates on the table one by one.

The breakfast he prepared for Kitagawa Eri was still the same nutritious meal for weight loss as always.

Although the taste was not in line with Kitagawa Eri's taste, she still ate everything obediently under Kitagawaji's watch.

After the meal, the three of them went out together and soon reached the bottom of the main building of Jingbei High School.

Kitagawa Eri carried the lunch box Kitagawaji prepared for her and bowed to Kitagawaji and Kamiya Mirai: "Then that's it. Brother Temple, sister Mirai, both of you have to work hard for the exam. There is also a top grader. Second in grade, we have to keep it up."

Originally, there was a student passing by Kitagawa Eri. When he heard her words, he wanted to say a few words.

After all, the results of the first and second place in grade have been predetermined before the exam started. This is a bit overestimating one's abilities.

But when the student turned around and saw Kitagawa Temple and Kamiya Mirai, he swallowed the words that came to his lips. She immediately lowered her head, fearing that the Great Demon King of Beijing would not like her and would beat her.

Mirai Kamiya and Kitagawaji did not notice this episode.

"Tera-kun and I will work hard, and so will Eri. Get good grades in the exam."

Kamiya Mirai said with a smile.

Beichuan Temple also nodded, indicating that he would work hard.

Yes... He still needs to work hard, both in terms of exams and in terms of solving the super large spiritual realm of 'Mou Chi'.

...

In fact, it is basically not difficult for Kitagawaji and Kamiya to take high school level exams in the future.

After all, the physical fitness of both people is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Thinking speed, memory speed, understanding speed...

Taken together, these factors cannot be compensated by ‘hard work’.

In addition, the test questions in Jingbei High School are generally a little "over the top".

This 'super-class' part can only rely on daily accumulation.

But Kitagawa Temple and Kamiya Mirai are completely outside the norm.

About ten minutes after each exam started, Mirai Kamiya and Kitagawaji had already put down their pens and were waiting for the next exam.

Fortunately, the exams in Japan only lasted forty-five to fifty minutes, otherwise the waiting time alone would have been enough for Kitagawaji and Kamiya Mirai to wait.

"But even this is so boring. Tera-kun."

Mirai Kamiya flopped down on his desk.

In the past, she had to pay a little more attention to her studies to get high scores, but now... she doesn't have to put any effort at all and can easily get the ideal results.

This completely reduced the difficulty and made her a little confused.

"There is nothing we can do about it. Besides, we only have exams for those subjects in the afternoon, so you don't need to continue to complain."

Kitagawaji ate the big sandwich at hand without raising his head.

"That's what I said..."

Mirai Kamiya pouted.

She also wanted to show off to Beichuan Temple.

Looking at Kamiya's future like this, Beichuan Temple felt relieved.

It seemed that Kamiya Mirai didn't know that someone was secretly spying on them.

This is good, so as not to make Mirai Kamiya nervous sometimes.

That is to say, when Kitagawa Temple was thinking like this, the vague feeling of being spied on came again.

This time, he was actually directly in the teaching building?

Beichuan Temple's face remained unchanged, pretending not to notice the other party, and looking around casually.

But the peeping feeling only lasted for a while and then dissipated.

The other party's overly cautious attitude also made Beichuan Temple feel a little troublesome.

He just paid a little attention to his surroundings, but the other party left.

"call..."

Kitagawa Temple raised his eyebrows slightly, and finally withdrew his gaze, turning to look at Kamiya Mirai in front of him.

At this time, Mirai Kamiya had already dragged the bench over to his side.

This intimate gesture made some of the male students next to him who used to particularly like Kamiya Mirai look dull.

After all, Mirai Kamiya is the cutest girl in the class, and she is also smart, so it is natural that she is popular.

In the past, these students could comfort themselves with the excuse that Kamiya Mirai was forced by the Great Demon King Beichuan.

But now it just doesn't work.

Kamiya Mirai is completely in love with Kitagawaji!

"My youth is over."

Some people couldn't help but murmur to themselves.

But compared to their miscellaneous thoughts, Beichuan Temple actually cares more about those secretly peeking eyes.

Who are these people...?

He tapped his fingers on the table and thought quietly.
